This guy tells an interesting and entertaining story, but I don't think that there is any reason to believe him. The serious investigations into
satanism all conclude that it is not wide spread, and the FBI has formally concluded that the scale of it is very small.

My point is that there is a lot of evidence to discredit the idea that satanic ritual abuse and sacrifice is widespread. You can't just go around
claiming whatever you want without backing it up(I'm talking about Icke here not the OP), and saying you know people who were in on it really isn't
very convincing. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." There is no compelling evidence to support Icke's claims.
